…was an ancestor of mine, apparently. And now I’ve recently discovered she was quite a prolific occult author and surrealist painter. And I was just talking about creating a Tarot deck–not for public consumption, of course, but to help me memorize the Tree of Life and its correspondences to the Tarot, the planets, and the archetypal keys of all hidden knowledge.
From The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Blog:
Particularly noteworthy is Colquhoun’s mention of an oral tradition regarding sexuality within the original HOGD as well as in the Alpha et Omega. Colquhoun also mentions that, in her opinion, the sexual aspects should appear in the highest grades of any occult fraternity, including the projected Third Order of the original Golden Dawn, as is presently the case in the Third Order of Mathers’ Alpha et Omega.
Colquhoun further discusses actual rituals pertaining to sexual polarity performed by early members of the Golden Dawn. In particular, she discusses at length the unpublished “Lilith” ritual of A.E. Waite that she found at the Warburg Institute. Finally, Colquhoun also discusses issues pertaining to Golden Dawn ritual and tantra groups regarding sexual polarity and the role of women in both tantra groups as well as in the original Golden Dawn.

Today is in desparate need of some color and enLIGHTenment. I love the comparison of Islamic and Buddhist mandalas; they both represent balance and enlightenment to me.

Recently, the mainstream media has been asserting that there is a vehement terrorist threat coming from Yemen. I’m not going to post links to verify this claim, as it’s pretty common knowledge. However, a listener of my good friend Josh Reeves’ Global Reality Show sent him this interesting link:
The Queen then “dimmed” her kingdom [see right] in Yemen and moved her entourage to Ethiopia, confounded her language to Himyaritic, a copy of the Ark was made and she allowed the buried palace and its courtyard to be consumed by the desert sands. There it remained for almost 3000 years until it was discovered by Wendell Philips, ironically the character on whom Indiana Jones was based in the movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark.
(Inscription [right] describes the mother “M” dimming her nation for the love of the Lord.)
DO NOT OPEN — a warning
In the Yemen museum there is another stone which dictates the conditions that should exist prior to any attempt at opening the chamber. These include the occupation of the land by a “friendly” nation and the warning that the Ark must not be moved and should not be used for any national or personal benefit. The Ark is to be used for the benefit of all mankind and petitions (asking for special favors) to the Lord are to be made by collective prayer in the area of the buried Chamber and through the “priests” of the Ark (Menelik?).
Following the burial of the chamber and the surrounding temple, Queen Saba “dimmed her kingdom” and moved to Ethiopia with the prohibition that the area where the Ark and Menelik were buried should be forgotten, lest future hostile nations and “blind prophets” should seek it out.
Now, I find this all very intriguing considering the recent discoveries of so many ancient rock sites in Saudi Arabia.
Considering what we know about Iraqi antiquity acquisitions, is it really plausible to think that this isn’t a peice of what is going on with the demonization of Yemen? A return of the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem would mean extreme power for those who possess it.
On a side note, I would like to verify the claim that the author makes in the beginning of this article that:
Prior to 1948 there was a very large Jewish population that lived and thrived in Yemen. There were Temples and Jewish neighborhoods next to Mosques. Children and adults of both faiths and traditions enjoyed eachothers companionship and commerce.
In 1948 the State of Israel was formed in the land occupied for millennia by the Palestinians. The welcome mat was out for any Jewish people who wanted to come to their new homeland and most of the Jews in Yemen left. It was a sad time for most Yemenis and the economy struggled to adjust with the sudden loss of such fine craftsmen. Even today, Yemen is famous for its filagree silver jewelry yet it is no longer manufactured because of the loss of the Jewish artisans.
In Yemen you can see countless examples of Jewish Stars, incorporated in the architecture of stone buildings and mausoleums. It was a testament to an era when there was no religious conflict. But that all changed when the new State of Israel forced out and killed the Palestinians, burnt and bulldozed their farms and orchards and continued to mistreat their Arab neighbors. Gradually, like most Arab nations in the world today, they grew intolerant and hostile.
…With an experience that my parents had of the Middle East in the 1970s. In Iran, Jewish metalsmiths worked alongside Muslim and Christian merchants up until the Revolution in 1979. Sure, things were stressed, but my parents personally bought a beautiful silver platter from a famous Jewish metalsmith while traveling through Esfahan, Iran. The metalsmith did not live in fear.
There CAN and there WILL be a way to peace. The control and contorsion of the world’s resources is a vain attempt to manipulate a power that the greedy do not understand. The funding of the false state of Israel was simply a way to create chaos in a place of extreme power. All people were seeded from the same Source of life, all people are blessed by the hand of their God, however they choose to conceive it, and all people will one day live peacefully together again. This is the true Covenant between God and Humanity.
From “Desktop Archeology” in Saudi Aramco World:
For nearly a century, archeologists have routinely used aerial photographs as a key tool for discoveries and investigations. In western Europe, the discovery through aerial reconnaissance of tens of thousands of previously unknown sites has transformed the way the past is interpreted and explained. In discussions of archeology, aerial views are often far more informative than ground photographs because the aerial views show the whole site within its geographical and environmental context, and they often show patterns too subtle or confusing to be recognizable on the ground.
Amid the patchwork of Google Earth’s satellite imagery, 15 to 20 percent of the Arabian Peninsula is covered at resolutions high enough to show archeological structures.

Animals may have been driven into this “barbed arrow” structure; the rounded “hides” at the points may have given cover to hunters.In the Middle East as a whole, there is a growing awareness of the value of this technique, particularly given the volume and complexity of remains and the need to balance preservation with rapid industrial development. Jordan has instituted and supports a program of aerial archeology, to which I have contributed. Recently, however, archeologists have begun to use the satellite imagery publicly available since the launch
